This Wednesday (22), Flamengo and Vitória face off at the Maracanã at 9:30 p.m. (Brasília time) in the 2026 Copa do Brasil.
Both teams are making their debut in the tournament, starting in the fifth round.
The second leg will be played on May 14 at Barradão.
Five-time champions (1990, 2006, 2013, 2022, and 2024), Flamengo — who also have five runner-up finishes (1997, 2003, 2004, 2017, and 2023) — are looking to draw level with Cruzeiro as the competition’s most successful club.
After coming close in 2010, Leão da Barra dreams of winning its first national cup title.
Leonardo Jardim is still without Pulgar. He also saw Paquetá join the medical department. Meanwhile, Carrascal is suspended.
Jorginho has been called up again. He will start on the bench.
Royal, Ayrton Lucas, De La Cruz, Bruno Henrique, and Cebolinha are the new additions.
Jair Ventura, meanwhile, has lost Renato Kayzer and Baralhas — both through injury.
On the other hand, Marinho has returned after a left thigh injury.
See how both teams line up below.
